    An Israeli soldier was killed and 16 soldiers wounded in an IDF anti-terror operation in Jenin overnight.

    Captain Alon Sacagiu was killed when Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted deep beneath the road in Jenin exploded as IDF vehicles were passing over a road section at the entrance to the city.

    Sacagiu served as commander of a sniper platoon in the Haruv Patrol of the Kfir Brigade. He was posthumously promoted to the rank of captain.

    According to details released by the IDF, a brigade ambulance vehicle was hit by an IED buried deeply beneath the road. The road had already been scraped clear by a D9 bulldozer to expose the presence of IEDs, however, the IED was reportedly buried deeper than usual, around 1.5 meters (5 feet) below the road surface.

    After the ambulance crew reported the explosion, along with minor injuries and damage to their vehicle, additional forces arrived to assist them. At that moment, a second explosion occurred, killing Sacagiu and wounding six other soldiers, one critically. IDF officials believe the second explosion was remotely triggered by terrorists monitoring the scene.
